Hello again, and thank you reading Article No. 2 in the series "Home and garden with class". The fact that you are here means that you are looking for advice on how to make the place where you live the fulfillment of your dreams. Many people do not, in fact, feel good about their homes, and if you are one of them, you probably feel an impulse to move to a "higher level". This is completely natural. Some want to move to a safer neighborhood, others to the countryside, and others to the city center. Whatever the case, we should not give up on...

A HOME WITH CLASS - what does it mean? I invite all visitors to ask themselves a question: How would you define a home, whether it is an apartment, house, dorm room, or studio? For me, my own home is a palace. This does not mean that it is palatial and richly appointed. It is a palace because my husband and I live here happily.

I am not one to impose my concept of beauty on others. Even so, I cannot help but be dismayed at the general decline in standards that has occurred over the past 50 years. The “cult of ugly” has descended upon us in seemingly every realm, be that fashion, art, architecture, work, or whatever. Most people seem to be far more concerned with whatever is trendy instead of what is actually beautiful. Does it really have to be this way? I stand firmly against the cult of ugly, and I ask you to come with me to try to find true beauty in everyday...

Why should we care about history? Here's a very compelling answer. Marcus Tullius Cicero—Cicero—lived from 106 to 43 b.c. The speaker, the philosopher, and the Roman politician, Cicero said "Historia magistra vitae est," which nearly word-for-word means "History is the teacher of life."

Making your life better life does not necessarily have to be expensive. More often than not, you only need to open yourself to the possibility of change. This requires a little courage, assertiveness, proper listening, a traditional look at the way you nourish yourself, and to surround yourself with everything that makes you happy. Remember what I emphasize on every possible occasion. I hereby reiterate that the journey of our change is our personal development. Investing in yourself is an exploration into what you do not know yet because it...
